If you're still feeling exhausted, depleted, or struggling with mood swings and hormone imbalances postpartum despite taking your prenatal, this episode is for you. Sara breaks down why most prenatals fall short when it comes to rebuilding a woman’s mineral and hormonal foundation after pregnancy. She introduces HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis), explains how it differs from traditional bloodwork, and dives into the deeper role of minerals like copper, iron, magnesium, and potassium in postpartum recovery, energy, and metabolism.


What You’ll Learn:


  • Why a standard prenatal may not be meeting your needs postpartum




  • The key differences between HTMA and blood tests—and why both matter




  • The top four mineral imbalances we see in postpartum women




  • How copper and iron interplay affects energy, mood, and hormones




  • Why supplementing with iron without testing may be doing more harm than good




  • The role of circadian rhythm and environment in true healing
